It has nothing to do with innovation. It has to do with licencing games for play on the Vita.

Forget emulators which ARE pirate devices and focus on RemotePlay, which is where the Vita CFW stuff gets interesting. Vita may simply be a pass-through device to the PS3 for RemotePlay, but you're playing that game on the Vita when there's no licence in place for the right to do it. Hence, RemotePlay thus far has been limited to first-party Sony games.

Sony's not going to open the flood-gates to litigation by unlocking RemotePlay for all games even though it seems perfectly capable, nor are they going to pay licencing fees for a back catalogue of PS3 games. So we either jailbreak at our own risk (I'll do it, no qualms, I own the games on PS3), or we wait for new games to come along with PS3 and Vita support, including licencing fees.

From what I've been told, emulators are completely legal if you own the original copy of the game you are playing ._.

What I can tell you right now is that this video is legit, and that this is neither Davee nor “Tony”‘s work. But this should not be a surprise to most people here, as I’ve mentioned in the past that we know of at least 5 groups that have PSP kernel exploits.

It’s worth mentioning that these exploits do not use VHBL in any way, but it is likely that most of them would require to go through a user mode exploit first (which probably means one of the game exploits we typically release with our Ninja release system).

There is, of course, no word on a potential release of this hack.

whenever it comes out i guess i can finally put my psp games i bought on my psp for free instead of re-buying it because of sony's bullshit.
